]]>Employer Mandate Delayed !!! What do you think about this?http://obamacareforums.com/discussion/27/employer-mandate-delayed-what-do-you-think-about-this
Wed, 03 Jul 2013 23:34:41 +0000Bob_Moderator27@/discussionsOn July 2, 2014, the Obama Administration delayed part of the Affordable Care Act(ACA, or health care reform law) that affects employers. The parts of the lawlisted below will now go into effect in 2015 instead of 2014:

Employerswill not have to report certain information to the IRS. This has been referredto as "employer reporting requirements." We are waiting for the IRSto give details on what requirements this includes.

The rulethat says large employers have to offer coverage to full-time workers or pay apenalty. "Large employer" in this case is a business that has 50 ormore full-time or full-time equivalent employees (that work an average of 30hours a week).

The rulethat says coverage offered by large employers cannot be more than 9.5% of aworker's pay for self-only coverage.

The delay notice changes the employer mandate part of the law only. The individualmandate and other parts of the law are unchanged. The IRS has said it will release more detailsabout the delay soon.

For-profit hospital systems in the United States continue to look to the merger and acquisition market to spend their cash because the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act encourages — directly and indirectly — consolidation in the industry, according to a report from Fitch Ratings.

Many of the largest for-profit hospital chains have posted their first-quarter financials, and a common theme is running in each report: Volumes are down, which is leading to lower-than-expected profits and revenue.

Under the PPACA, for-profit hospitals will see an increase in insured patients, particularly in the outpatient setting, but Fitch analysts do not see this as a "panacea for slowing growth" in patient volumes. Consequently, hospitals are turning to consolidation to boost bottom lines because acquisitions represent a "bottom-up solution" to offset weak patient growth.

"A trend of industry consolidation is reflective of the fact that economies of scale and vertical consolidation will support profitability in an environment where healthcare providers face slow organic growth and are required to accept more financial risk, such as through bundled or value-based payments," according to Fitch's report.
